Maybe it was love at first sight, maybe it was right place at the right time. But the first memory she had of walking into that conner store was the first time she had meet ash. She was six... That's the day Isabella met her best friend
Isabella held her older cousins hand tightly as they crossed the busy road.
Maddy was only three and a half years older then he but it felt like nothing to Maddy.
Maddy remembered the day that Isabella's mom dropped her of at her house. Maddy was 3. She remembered a lot from that day.
She remembered her aunt, Isabella's mom crying and saying something in Spanish about how she had to leave the baby there for a while but she would be back.
She never came back. But Maddy had basically adopted her as her sister so its not like that mattered.
Isabella ran to the back of the store to grab her bug juice that Maddy promised her she would buy.
She opened the fridge door to see a boy the same age starring back at her. She wasn't scared of him, more intrigued then anything.
"Leave." He said with a smug look on his face, for a six year old he was intimidating, but not to isabella.
"I don't want to." She said back, to him crossing her arms over he chest, he stood up and pushed her out of the freezer.
But lucky for him Maddy saw that happen, "fezco get your dogs." The nine year old said to the eleven year old ginger, while she grabbed Isabella's hand bringing her closer to her.
All fez did was roll his eyes while he handed her back her change, though Maddy wouldn't admit it but she felt safe when isabella was close to her.
From then on ashtray and Isabella were best friends. They saw each other most durning the summer time, most of the time Isabella would have Maddy or one of Maddy's friends to pick her up from the shop and she would walk thier in the morning.
But she always made time for ash. He was the only person she could talk to besides Maddy, but sooner or later Maddy and Isabella weren'tas close.
When Isabella was in 8th grade, and Maddy was in 11th, Maddy started dating nate jacobs. And isabella utterly dispersed him.
"I hate him so much ash," Isabella ranted while she paced the store Aisles, "And I know hate is a big word and I don't use it a a lot. But i hate nate jacobs."
"I know you do Isa," he said as he sat next to the cash register.
This went on for months. But after isabella found out what happened the night of the carnival is when she officially took matters into her own hands.
